Black comedy with French style, 24 October 1999
7/10
Author: ieaun from dudley, england

Victor Meynard (Jean Rochefort) is a professional assassin. Leaving the scene of his latest hit he bumps into delivery boy Antoine (Guillaume Depardieu) and decides to take him on as his apprentice. Meanwhile art thief Renee (Marie Trintignant) has sold a fake to a Corsican gangster for 900,000 francs. Maynard is employed to kill her, but he falls in love with her and ends up protecting her from the Corsican's henchmen. They hide out at Meynard's home, where Antoine and Renee disrupt the older man's eccentrically well-ordered life.

Despite the predictability of the storyline, this fast-moving black comedy keeps the viewer entertained throughout. Jean Rochefort (seen previously in "The Hairdresser's Husband") is hilarious as the anally-retentive assassin whose world is turned upside down, and is ably supported by the kleptomaniac Trintignant and the incompetent apprentice Depardieu. Also, at 88 minutes the film doesn't outstay its welcome.
